Giuseppe (Joe Z) Zammuto, 1958-1980s Official Boss
Gaspare (Jasper) Calo, 1930s-1960 Underboss (deposed)
Charles (Charlie Vince) Vinci, 1960-1990s Underboss/Acting Boss ?
Frank (Frankie Bush) Buscemi, 1980s Underboss/Acting Boss ?
Sebastian (Knobby) Gulotta, 1980s/90s-2000 Official Boss
Salvatore (Sam) Galluzzo, 2000-2010s Acting Boss (Official ?)

There is some debate about whether or not fellas like Vinci, Buscemi, or Galluzzo were ever 'officially' installed as "Representante." But each of these men were thought to be leading the borgata at one time or another.

The Family's two most iconic and recognized bosses were, undoubtedly, Musso and Zammuto.




According to one quite knowledgeable forum member known as Cavita (many props to him), who is a expert on the Rockford fam, said that Buscemi never received the boss position because of his close ties to the Chicago Outfit, meaning he was their guy in Rockford.


That makes sense about Buscemi. Rockford wanted to keep their independence and installing Buscemi would have usurped that goal.
